Thomas Birch was one of the first American artists to specialize in marine and landscape paintings. His rise as a painter began during the War of 1812 for his paintings of naval engagements of the fledgling U.S. Navy. The patriotic nature of the subject made these paintings popular. Aside from battle histories, Birch was also known for his landscape-style depictions of harbors. These landscapes are in the Dutch style, slightly romanticized yet essentially accurate portrayals. Also included in Birch’s body of work are dramatic shipwreck scenes, ship portraits, and winter scenes. His art was influential in the later development of the Hudson River School of painting and the style of romantic realism, characterized by romanticized and idealistic depictions of nature and American landscapes.
